Obama vows to 'intensify' attacks on Islamic State

While overseas, Mr Turnbull attended the East Asia Summit (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Manila, the Philippines.

On the sidelines of the APEC summit, he met with US president Barack Obama, who vowed to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants on their Syrian battlefields with the help of Coalition partners.

"Our Coalition will not relent. We will not accept the idea that terror attacks on restaurants, or theatres and hotels are the new normal," Mr Obama said.

"We will destroy them. We will take back land they are currently in. We will cut off their financing. We will hunt down their leadership."

Federal Government backbencher and former army officer Andrew Nikolic said Australia had not been asked to send in ground troops, but argued a long-term strategy was needed.

"Our troops are putting their lives on the line, they expect a Government, they expect a Parliament that is behind our strategy, and I think we are making a very good contribution," said Mr Nikolic, who is also an ally of Mr Abbott.
